PAYCHECK PROTECTION, H.B. 418, TO BE HEARD IN COMMITTEE

On 4/30, H.B. 418 the Paycheck Protection bill being sponsored by Stuart Bishop (R-Lafayette), will be heard in committee in the Louisiana Legislature. Proponents of this bill say that the state should not be involved in the business of collecting union dues. As of now, the state does not collect any money for any other organization from the paychecks of Louisiana's state public employees. This bill would require unions to collect their own dues and not depend on the State of Louisiana.
